A Blue Trombone will give our Band School Spirit!

Help me give my students a new trombone to use for pep assemblies and sports events.

My Project

Please help us purchase a new, blue p-bone for our band. We currently do not own any trombones, so it will be an asset to add this instrument to our library. We will use the instrument as an introduction for new learners, as well as add spirit to our soon-to-be pep band!

We have hard working students who are excited to start a pep band to show off their school spirit.

They have been asking to play at assemblies and sports games, and it would be so thrilling for them to have a blue trombone to help amp up the crowd! Our school colors are navy blue and white, so this is perfect!

Near the end of the school year, we also have a little show and tell for the entire fourth grade class where they come try out the instruments to decide if they'd like to join band next year. We currently do not have a trombone and have to borrow one each year. Having our own will make a huge impact for our future players!

We would be so appreciative to have your support and help in bringing school spirit to our academy!
